"Wait! Aju, what did you just say? Kira Yoshishi, who was eating the pastry with his head down, seemed to hear a familiar name, turned his head sideways and asked, "You just said that Toraki told you?" ”

Ah Ju nodded as a matter of course and said, "Yes! Princess Tiger Ji told Ah Ju that she regretted her recklessness, but she also expressed her unforgivable incomprehension of Her Highness's bad behavior! ”

"Huh? When did you and Tiger Ji become ......" Kira Yoshishi wanted to express it in another word, but he really couldn't express it clearly, and he held back for a long time before saying: "Become a close friend in the boudoir?" ”

"A close friend?" Ah Ju tilted her head and thought for a long time, and said with understanding: "It's really a very good description!" It's like handkerchief! Your Highness is really amazing! ”

Chiyo Mochizuki dangled two ponytails and echoed, "Yes! His Highness has always been able to say many things that Chiyo doesn't understand...... The most powerful! ”

"Hey, hey! Don't bring a crooked topic, I think Aju should answer my question first! "For Aju's temperament that often goes off the line, Kira Yoshishi can't complain in words, and as for that stupid Lori, she completely gives up her plan to treat.

"Yes! When she was still in Kyoto, Ah Ju was already a close friend of Princess Tiger Ji! In the past few months, when His Royal Highness took the samurai to hunt, Ah Ju would make a lot of delicious pastries for Princess Tiger Ji to eat, and of course, Ah Xu and they also had a share! ”

"Woohoo! I'm going to eat it too! Chiyo didn't suffer so much! Stupid to Lori's big eyes with tears, she blinked and looked at Ah Ju pitifully, and soon Ah Ju touched her head and gently comforted: "Don't worry, the missing share will definitely be made up for Chiyo Girl!" ”

The stupid Lori immediately burst into tears and laughed. Holding Aju happily, he cheered: "Okay, good!" Chiyo girl likes Sister Aju the most! ”

"Bastard! I didn't even know that. It turned out that the off-line maid who had been hiding by her side. It's so powerful! Ji Liang Yoshishi suddenly regretted a little, is it too unconcerned about his own life, every day is not living for himself, it is very hard and boring, even the maids around him who have taken care of him for more than ten years do not understand, and being a man is a relatively failure.

"What is Your Highness talking about? Why can't Ah Ju understand it? ”

"Yes! Chiyo doesn't understand it either! Two people, one big and one small, stared at him with question marks on their heads.

"It's nothing ......" instantly dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and Kira Yoshitoki said: "I think Aju should bravely shoulder the responsibility and dredge the relationship between me and Tiger Ji." Right? ”

"What His Highness means, Ah Ju probably understands!" Ah Ju didn't think much about it this time and readily agreed, clasped her hands together and said, "As long as His Royal Highness and Princess Huji are together, it will be perfect!" ”

"Then please!"

While the chaotic post-disaster reconstruction work was underway, the March assessment meeting was held as scheduled, and this time it was a bi-monthly assessment, which was different from the ordinary assessment meeting, and the people of Echigo had to attend except for special circumstances.

"The main hall of the longtail bullet has arrived!"

"Takeshi Kira has arrived!"

Almost at the same time, the two names were sung. In the hall, hundreds of warriors were all leaning on the ground, and the long-tailed Jinghu in a white monk's robe held a prayer bead. The waist and crotch bean are long, and he strode to the main seat and sat down, and he was followed by Kira Yoshishi, wearing a white hunting suit, a black hat on his head, and holding a bat fan.

Kira Yoshitoki sat cross-legged next to Nagao Keitor, the two sat side by side, the side of Nagao Keitora sitting on the left hand side was all samurai from Echigo, and the side sitting on the right side of Kira Yoshitoki should be a samurai from Mikawa, Omi and even the shogunate.

A long-tailed warrior approached the side of the tiger and said in a loud voice: "The assessment meeting has begun, and you have something to ask for." ”

As the chief administrative officer of the Kira family, Hosokawa Fujitaka immediately raised his head and said loudly: "Tell the main hall of the long tail bullet!" The post-earthquake statistics have been completed, and a total of 2,936 houses were destroyed in the seven counties of Echigo, with 285 dead, 3,442 injured, and nearly 10,000 homeless people. ”

"Temporary resettlement site ......" Long-tailed Jinghu was a little unaccustomed to this new word, repeated a few words in a low voice, and then asked: "How is it there?" ”

"Everything is normal, while rebuilding after the disaster, we have also formulated a set of renovation plans to strengthen public security, fire protection, and sanitation, first in Kasugayama Castle Shitamachi, Naoetsu Port and temporary resettlement sites for pilots, it is expected to invest 2,500 Yongle money, the construction period is about four months, mainly used to improve the unreasonable layout of the house in the town, which brings inconvenience to fire rescue and public security management, and at the same time improve drainage facilities, increase culverts to reduce the adverse impact of water damage on the town."

"That's more than that!" Nagao Jinghu was already dizzy, and a lot of words he hadn't heard didn't understand what they meant at all, so he could only look sideways at Kira Yoshi, who nodded and said: "Fujitaka has done a good job, list the project schedule and the schedule for the renovation of various facilities as soon as possible, and the general service will also be levied as soon as possible, don't worry about food." ”

"Yes!" Hosokawa Fujitaka continued, "It is estimated that 2,000 people will be requisitioned for general service, and we will need the cooperation of all of you in Echigo......"

"Wait, I have something to say!" Hojo Takahiro suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Don't worry about what is food, this season is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and even our samurai themselves don't have much surplus food, how can my Nagao family have so much surplus grain to feed these untouchables?" Do you think so? ”

"Yes! How can there be so much surplus food! There were really some samurai who chimed in, which made many of the samurai present feel dissatisfied, and the important ministers, including Minori Honjo and Nakajo Fujishi, frowned and cursed: "This stupid and reckless wild boar is really looking for trouble." ”

I saw that a large number of Echigo people echoed it. Hojo Takahiro said triumphantly, "See? There is no surplus food in the hands of the kings. Presumably, the lord did not have much surplus food in his hands. How much food does it take for 5,000 people to feed for a few months, and how much food does it cost to levy 2,000 people for general service? Don't think I don't know, but I was the acting officer of Kashiwazaki Port! ”

When he saw Kira Yoshi, he didn't speak, thinking that he was speechless when asked, so he further said, "Can't speak, right?" How do the nobles from Kyoto know about our Echigo terroir, and if they point fingers, they will be laughed at by us country samurai. ”

"Hahaha......"

"Look for death!" Watanabe Takatsuna, who had endured it for a long time, couldn't hold back anymore and jumped out, and pulled out the knife on his waist and cut it without saying a word, and Hojo Takahiro was not a vegetarian. Seeing that the Kira family jumped out of a majestic and majestic man, he also retreated and drew his sword to confront him, speaking of Watanabe Takatsuna's swordsmanship is above the level, of course, Hojo Takahiro on the opposite side is not a master of swordsmanship, and the two of them have failed to help their opponents with several slashes.

And the Echigo samurai here saw that the other party dared to make a public move, and he couldn't help but jump up and pull out the sword, and the same action was made by the Kira family samurai, and for a while, the sword flashed in the wide room, so that Kira Yoshitoki remembered the farce when he was still in Mikawa a few years ago.

"Enough! Stop! The long-tailed Jinghu was furious and shouted: "Where is Xiao Pingji." Catch these people for me! ”

"Yes!" A group of samurai rushed in, and without saying a word, they detained all the samurai on both sides who had drawn their swords. Under Kira Yoshitoki's shaking of his head and hints, Mikawa's samurai was very cooperative and put away his weapons and waited for processing, but Hojo Takahiro's side was still unconvinced, and he was reluctant to stop.

Hojo Takahiro scolded angrily: "Why are you arresting me! What did I say wrong? Let me go! ”

"Dare to talk back!" Nagao Keiren kicked down Hojo Takahiro, and a few samurai went up to capture him, and the Echigo samurai in the hall also seemed to realize the power of the Nagao family's Konoe Banner, and they all put down their weapons and were captured.

The long-tailed Jinghu was obviously extremely angry, and immediately ordered: "From today on, before entering the main gate of the spring mountain city, all weapons are unloaded, and no bows, arrows, knives and guns are allowed to be brought in!" ”

"Yes!"

"Takahiro Hojo pull me down!"

Hojo Takahiro struggled and shouted, "I'm not wrong! Why punish me! I'm not convinced! ”

"Still not convinced!" The long-tailed Jinghu wanted to slash him to death, and scolded angrily: "Do you know who you are fighting against? His Royal Highness's royal family, the governor of the Ashikaga family, and His Royal Highness the Warrior Guard of the world! My long-tailed Jinghu's sister-in-law! You unreasonable fool, do you think that there is no food relief in the Wuwei Palace? The purchase of soybeans and tea seeds for grain in Echigo for several months was all personally funded by the Warrior Palace! ”

“…… How so? Hojo Takahiro's face turned blue and white for a while, not only the samurai of the Kira family were full of contempt for him, but even the people of Echigo were not sympathetic to him.

Just when people thought that a storm was about to end, another person who was not willing to be lonely suddenly jumped out and shouted, "My Echigo peasant cannot accept Kyoto's handouts!" Let them go back to their own territory to work, and we will solve the house by ourselves, and we don't need the nobles from Kyoto to give us alms! ”

When Nagao Jinghu saw this person, he scolded with a headache: "Chiyo Pig Pill! Sit back for me! Don't talk nonsense. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense!" Honjo raised his head and shouted: "Our Echigo samurai are not even short of food, so we can still take over this bit of disaster victims with a little bit, why should we accept the favor of the nobles of Kyoto, and we Echigo poor even need food from others?" Do you think I'm right? ”

"That's right! No matter how poor we are, we will not be short of this food! This time the crowd was excited, and no one wanted to admit that they wanted to give alms, after all, this reputation was too ugly, and there was a saying that people were not poor, and the people of Echigo were this kind of people.

At this time, even the heart of the circle Honjo Minoru no longer spoke, the matter has obviously risen to the level of a post-disaster rescue to the level of the local and foreign countries, as Echigo's highly respected veteran hero, Honjo Minoru is not rash to speak. (To be continued......)
